SALARY AND BOND FIXED. SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH IS THE AMOUNT OF THE FORMER. A Bond In the Sum of Ten Thousand Dollars to bi Furnished The Jeanesvllle Company's Note Discussed at Length. The Borough Council held a regular nuetlng last night and was in session un til almost midnight. Tbe members iu attendance were Messrs. Reese, Stroughn, Jable, Magargle, T. J. James, McEl heuny, Kane, Boehra, Meluskey, Dough erty, Hand, D R. James and Kerns. Tue features of the evening were a lentsthy discussion of the Jeanesvllle note and discount matter, which re- suited in a decision to cancel the note. ami the election of a superintendent for the puMIc water works, in which ex Councilman O-car Betteridgo was suc cessful over ex Councilman A. B. Lamb. Mr. Kane made a lengthy report for the roads and highways committee and stated that in the matter of the claim of J3 25 by the Eclipse Oil Company for damages to its wagon on account of the b id condition of Eineriek street it had been found that the bad part of the street could have beeu avoided, but that a short turu and the washing of the oil to one side had upset the wagon. The report was accepted. T. J. James, of the finance committee, stated that Messrs. P. J. Fergu-on and J. J. Franey, boadsmen in tbe Higgins case, had given their checks for $2,C00and weie ready to give their notes for the balance due. D. 11. James then brought up the Jeanesvllle Company's note business and said that if the finance committee bad attended to its business it would have known that the claim fell due on April 30th and not compel the borough to pay a discount of $135. T. J. James said the finance committee had nothing to do with the transaction; that the water committee did it. Mr. McElheuny said he wanted a little light on the subject. He wanted to know who allowed Mr. Meluskey to have the note discounted at the borough's expense. President McGuire said the instructions of Couucll to the chairman of the water committee was to seeif the claim was due and, it so, have the officers of Council execute a note for the amount and give it to the firm. Mr. McElhenny said the instructions were not for Council to pay the discount, He did not blame anybody for the trans action, but he thought it was a piece of pretty sharp financiering on the part of the bank. The secretary was requested to read the motion made by Mr. Gable at a previous meeting. It was read as follows : "That the chairman of the water committee look up the matter in regard to the Joanea vlllo Iron Works and, if the moner is due, that a note be given to the company for the amount." Mr. Meluskey said : "The matter was referred to the water committee to see whether the amount was due and, accord lug to contract, It was due April SiOt-fa and reported so to the president of Council. As for paying any interest, I know noth ing of that. The note was drawn for S7.9S0 aud a bill for interest will come up later on. The water committee had noth ing to do with luterest. Mr. McGuire said that before action wan taken on tbe note the Borough Sollitor was consulted and that the chairman of Council acted under his in structions. Mr, Pomeroy, the solicitor, made a lengthy statement in which he stated that Sunday evening Mr. Morris, repre senting the Jeanesvllle iron Works, called on him and said be tvanted the note to have it discounted. Mr. Watkins, the secretary, was absent from town and the note could not be properly executed without a special meeting of Council to elect a secretary pro tern. On Monday mornlug following President McGuire, Treasurer Davies and Mr. Hunter, the cashier of the bank, called on him. Mr. Hunter demurred. A note had been drawn for so much and interest, Mr, Hunter wanted a note without interest. Mr. Pomeroy said discount and interest amounted to about the same thing. Mr, Pomeroy did not And out what they did until he got home from Pottsville that afternoon. . Mr. Morris then said he had made satisfactory arrangements. Mr. Pomeroy added that If tbe committee carried out the Instructions of the Bor ough Council it had to give a note. It could not give a check, or cash. Mr, Gable said he made the motion to give the note because from conversation in Council he understood that there was uo money In the treasury. He said he hoard that Mr. Hunter stated that the borough had, 17,000 in bank, and that Mr. Davie? said so, too, and If so, the officers made a mistake. Mr. McGuira sild be was not so In lormed until ufter the note had beeu executed. Messrs. Gable and D. It. Jamei then got into a hot exchange of words, during which Mr. James said he would like Mr. Gable to state to the people the difference between $00,000 dad SlGtKOOO, and Mr. Gable said he would give Mr. James $X to go into a small space with him. The latter retorted that he was ready at any time, but the exchange ended. An ordinance) grantlug right of way to the Schuylkill Telephone Compauy was adopted. The company is to enter into a written agreement giving the Council free use of the local exchange. Solicitor Pomeroy read opinions on the Ijwlor and Jones claims for damases, stating that tbe borough was not respon sible. Mrs. Bridget L wlor claimed dam ages for being struck by a coasting sled on Chestnut street last February. Mr. Jones claimed damages for injuries sus tained by falliup ou a slippery pavement , on North White street. The claim of Lawrence Little for dam age to sleigh was ordered paid and the claim was placed In the hands of the Solicitor for collection from the Schuyl kill Traction Compauy. A petition from residents of West Coal street complaining about thesewer which has been before the Council and Board ot Health for several weeks past was read and President McGuire instructed the sanitary committee to meat the Board of Health and see what can be done to abate the nuisance, nnd also Instructed the Borough Solicitor to give the officers in structions in the matter. Mr. Meluskey made a lengthy report of routine work on the public water works and also stated that Quinn & Kerns have sent in a bill for$o,950 for repairing the urandonville dam. It Is claimed that $13,800 of tbe amount is for new work. The bond of William Schmlcker and his agreement on his coal hauling con tract were accepted. On motion of Mr. McElhenny. it was decided that the parties who executed tbe note given to the Je'aue,vllle Iron Works Company see the officials of the luukand see if the discount cannot be cancelled by paytug tbe priuclpal and Interest for the time the money has been used. Council decided to hold another meet lng next Monday evening to meet Con tractor McAdam. A. J. Womelsdorf his sued the borough for 900 for extra services iu connection with the public water works. On mo Ion of T. J. James, the salary of the superintendent of the water works wa fixed at75 per month and on motion of Mr. Hand, the ofllcar's bond was fixed at $10,0 10.

KEVINS' fielding was RAn'.r:::: iwillltz THE LANCASTERS ALSO JUMPED UPON HIS DELIVERY AND HIT IT FREELY. Players on the Home Team Are Evl- dently Playing: 0ft and Dissatis fied With the Management. Remarks by Them. The tale of woe was repeated at the Trotting park yesterday ufteruoon. The home State League base bull team sut- fered another defeat, l'hls ilme it wa the Lancaster who did the trick. It was the same old story. The Sbenandoahs started out well, but' somebody went wiong at, a critical point aud then every body seemed to got wheels iu his head The playing iu tbe first inning pleased the spectator very much und they settled down to ee a good contest In the second inning their confidence received u slight shock. Iu the third it was completely shattered, and before tue game was over all but four of the spectators left the grand staud, although they did not num ber many at any stage of the game. Several times it was clear that the home players were not disposed to exert them selves. Nevlus was the first to make a break in the gojd work aud figured con sptcuously In the degeneration during the whole game. Merritnau started the game with a hit, but went out with McCoach on a double play by Stout and Meyers. Little was re tired on Stout's throw to Meyers. Cargo and Cappel went out on Hies to King and Keagan was retired on a foul fly to Lee. 1'he latter put up an excellent game up to the close of the contest. Klug, the first batter for the horns team, in the second tuning, went out on a foul fly to Cappel. Ford made a hit aud was advanced by McGarvey's. Clark got his base on balls and Lee went out on a foul fly to Arthur. Xevlns got his base on balls and Ford was lorced home. Mc Garvey scored when Merriman got his first on Meyer's error and the side was re tired by Clark being thrown out at third by Meyers after he recovered the muffed ball, in the last half Nevlns gave Se bold and Stout their bases on balls and Yeager brought the two men home with a two bagger. Kevins then struck out Meyers after giving him three bulls. Neviua got Yeager into a fox chase be tween Becond and third nnd the player went out near second on a throw by Ford to Little. Arthur went out on a fly to McCoach, who made a nice catch and gave the first indication of the season on his part of a desire to play ball, In the third inning the visitors s:ored three runs after two men had been retired, and it was due to Nevins' poor fielding. Yerkes was the first battor and struck out outhe first three balls thrown over the plate. Cargo went out on a fly to Mo Garvey. Reagan sent a slow grounder to Nevins, who ran with the runner halt way to first and then made a bad throw to Little, giving Reagan his base. Cappel brought Reagan home ou a two bagger. Sebold got his base on balls and he and Cappel scored on Stout's two base hit, Yeager then struck out. in trie tutu inning tnree more runs were added to .the score of the visitors on hits by Cappel and Yeager and errors by Nevins and McGarvey, Nevins started tbe seventh Inning with a three bagger and got home when Merri man went out on a fly to Sebold. Mc- (Joacngot nls base on balls,- .Little was retired on a foul fly to Arthur and Mo Coach went out at the plate on the throw in from the center field after King had made a hit. Iu tho last halt the home team was slaughtered. Two three base hits, three doubles and two singles, all well bunched, and two bases on balls brought In nine runs, 'mere was only ono error. Tuat was made by Merriman. He and Clark were after the ball and as It descended the former threw hla hands apart and allowed the ball to fall ti the ground. His ex planation for the mlsplay was that tbe captain failed to designate which of the two men was to make the play. In the eighth inning Yerkes, the first batter for the visitors went out on a fly to King. Cargo got to first on an error by McCoacb, Three singles, two stolen bases and a base on balls msde five more runs and increased tbe total score for the visitors to 22 runs. Meyers and Arthur were then thrown out at first by Nevins, Tbe last spasm was brief. Lee made a bit, Nevins went out on a fly to Stout, Merriman flew out to Cappel, McCoach got his base on Cargo's error aud Little struck out, retiring the side and leaving the result 23 to 3 in favor of the visitors, The score : SHENANDOAH K Merriman, "b 0 McCoacb, cf ......U In 1 u 1 1 1 l o l i P0 1 2 0 3 0 5 1 0 0 l.ittio. iu ....u King, rf ....0 Kord, Sb ..l JlcUarvey, It 1 Clark, ss -U Ie, c 0 Nevins, p 1 1 Totals -I tt In io L'nreo. s.

There U no doubt that theShenandoabs can play ball, but won't do so under the present circumstances connected with the management. Lee i3 looked upon very favorably as a catcher since bis work yesterday. One ot the home team told a reporter yesterday that salary day fell on the '.5th Inst., and that if the mouey was not forth coming by tonight he would not be sur prised If the club should refuse to play until they are paid. Manager Brennan says his indebtedness does not amount to as much as some people suppose, that he has paid consider able advan:e money and several railway fares for players, which must be deducted from the salary list. There Is but one kind of clam chowder the genuine at the Scheifly House to morrow night. Ball Players Strike. All the players ou the home team of the State Base Ball League struck for their salaries today. When the time arrived for them to report for today's game they refused to go to the grounds. Manager Brennan said the players were obliged to report and if they failed to do so he would fine them $50 oach. The players did not seem disturbed when told of this and did not go to the park. The Harrisburgs went up and claimed the game, it Is expected President Hanlon will arrive here tonight to take some action. Manager Bentley, ot the Lancas,- ters, failed to get his guarantee yo-iterday and is hero awaiting Hanlou's arrival. At three o'clock Manager Brennan was busy trying to get the players together to play today's game and at the time the Herald went to press it appeared that some of the players were inclined to do BO.
